Moderate effort to bid.

Written from the published notice — the full tender document was not available to us. Download it from the source before bidding: eligibility rules, fees and specifications may only appear there.

• No tender document fee — the notice lists the bid form fee as 0.

• "Canon SD Mark 3" is not a Canon model name — almost certainly the EOS 5D Mark III, which is a discontinued body now only available used or refurbished. Confirm the model with ZOU before sourcing.
• The camera line does not say whether a lens, battery, charger or memory card is included, and a body-only price is very different.
• The lighting line gives only a light stand — no heads, softboxes or power — although the title says "studio lighting equipment". Confirm the scope.
• The backdrop line gives no backdrop sizes or materials, only that the mount holds three and is manually operated.
